Double-sided telecentric zoom lens consisting of four tunable lenses with fixed distance between object and image
Applied Optics
|October 20, 2017
Abstract:
This work performs a paraxial analysis of the double-sided telecentric zoom lens consisting of four tunable lenses with fixed distance between the object and image plane. Equations enabling calculation of paraxial parameters of such optical systems are derived and the calculation is presented on examples. To our knowledge the presented analysis is novel and such optical systems have not been investigated yet.

Focusing of Light in the Eye
6.5K
Light rays enter the eye through the cornea, a transparent dome-shaped tissue that is the eye's outermost layer. The cornea bends or refracts, light rays traveling to the pupil. The shape of the cornea determines how much of the light is bent and whether the image will be focused correctly on the retina at the back of the eye. Once the light has passed through both refraction layers, it converges into a single focal point onto a small area. This is where photoreceptors start transforming...

Confocal Fluorescence Microscopy
21.3K
Confocal microscopy is an advanced microscopic technique. The prime advantage of the confocal microscope over other microscopy techniques is its ability to block the out-of-focus light from the illuminated samples using pinholes. It is widely used with fluorescence optics to obtain high-resolution, sharp contrast images. Unlike optical microscopes, confocal microscopes use a focused beam of light laser to scan the entire sample surface at different z-planes. These microscopes are, therefore,...
